I had high expectations of this tent since our last Eureka was amazing and kept us dry for 15 years. But our first vacation was a disaster. First, after a night of rain, we awoke to discover the front corner had collapsed after the awning had acted to collect a huge amount of rainwater and sink to the ground. We couldn't even get out the front door. After exiting out the back door, dropping the awning pole, and releasing all the trapped water, the corner sprung back up, which was good. We were sure it was broken in half.
But then the floor, which is ludicrously thin (you can almost see through it), leaked water up all over the place, not just seams or corners. Prior to camping, we had coated the bottom with Thompson's deck sealer, which we had done to our previous Eureka tent, but it didn't seem to help. Yes, we had a drop cloth under the tent, but the rain was heavy enough, and we were on a slope, that some water managed to run between the drop cloth and the tent floor in places. In all these places the water just came up right through the thin fabric.
Our last Eureka tent was once subjected to floating in 4" of water for half an hour with kids inside walking around. After the ordeal, I was amazed to find only a couple drops of water inside the tent at one of the corners. What happened to that level of quality? This tent looks attractive in the ads, but if it rains heavily it will NOT keep you dry, and isn't that the whole point of a tent?

After a miserable & shocking experience, waking with water dripping on us through our used Coleman cabin tent, we tossed it into the garbage & quickly researched our way to the Eureka brand name. With the help of the great reviews on this website among others online, we picked this tent for our family, feeling confident that the quality was worth the cost. We have put this tent to the test a couple of times now & are very pleased with our purchase!
Here is a quick review of what we have found:
Pros:
1) Great size for a family of 4, gear + 100lb dog
2) Easy setup the second & subsequent times - the first time is a little slow. I am 5 ft tall & can put it together alone except for the 4 velcro attachments on the front and the back of the fly. It is not a dome tent or a popup - so, for those who expect a super easy setup will be in for some shock - we have primarily owned cabin tents so for us, it isn't a problem to work a little harder to get the benefits of a cabin tent.
3) GREAT ventilation, windows on all sides & exposed, unlike a dome tent
4) Good Quality seams & material on tent walls, fly, awning & roof
5) The awning is wonderful & large - as mentioned by another reviewer, the instructions are not clear on how to install it so we just attached it to the fly on the three front points, put the poles in at an angle & set up the guy lines to secure, then zipped up the side of the fly & pulled the middle guy line over the top to create a bit of a dip in the awning so water could run off.
Cons:
1) It is larger than most campground tent pads that we have found. Arrive early to the campground or scope out a campsite in advance, just in case you won't fit - bring a measuring tape to double check!
2) The floor is made out of the same material as the tent, it seems quite thin for flooring material
3) We wished it had more accessible pockets - our old Coleman had a bunch of pockets that were reachable from our sleeping bags so I could put a flashlight & my eyeglasses in it, to access at any time. The pockets with the Eureka are on the center divider & then there is a separate one that we can't figure out where it is supposed to hang at so we hang it off the window hooks.
Suggestions:
1) As with all new tents, the manufacturer recommends to seam seal the tent prior to the first useage. It is an inexpensive & easy thing to do but it takes time & effort to get it done.
2) Definately use a tarp UNDER the tent flooring, I would not want to put that directly on the ground.
3) Carry a measuring tape with you on your camping trips - you'll want to check the tent pad size before you start putting this up!
Overall, we are extremely happy with our purchase & we would recommend it to those who like the cabin style tent

This tent has a lot of space and room inside, even with the divider wall put up. An average size person can stand up inside. This is good for when you change your clothes. I like the opposite two door feature. The sky-light in the rain-fly is okay, but is is not very clear for viewing the night time sky.
The divider wall is removable (as opposed to other tents that only roll up), and with the wall in place you can have two separate sleeping rooms, or a sleeping room and a sitting area. With the wall down, a queen-size mattress looks small, so there is plenty of room for a king. Be careful if you plan on putting camp chairs or table inside - you will risk ripping the floor unless you put a mat under them.
The awning that is included is pretty much worthless. A decent breeze can cause it to collapse rather easily with only one guy line on each pole, but it did a bit better with two guy lines on each. If it starts to rain, FORGET IT; take it down immediately. The attachment of awning causes water to pool up on the rain-fly and on the awning itself. Zipping the corners of the rain-fly does not help since their is no way to secure the rain-fly over the center pole with the awning attached. The instructions say to lower one of the awning poles in the rain, but this does not help to allow the water to run off the rain-fly.
In the rain you need to guy-line the rain-fly, otherwise water will run off on the windows and find its way inside the tent. This works out okay, but the guy-lines are brown and hard to see so they become a potential tripping hazard.
Purchase a good set of stakes before you put up the tent. The "stakes" that are included are a joke - they are 1/8-in diameter pins that have little, if any, holding power.
All the zippers on the tent are plastic. This is probably to keep the tent light-weight, but this is not a tent to be hauled around much. Metal zippers would be much better and eliminate the weak-point that basically renders most tents unusable.
I was disappointed with the floor. It is very thin, and is the same material that is used on the walls. I bought the 3x tent pad to put beneath it, but a 10-mill tarp would work better.
Overall, I was much happier with my Eureka Sunrise 11 that has proven to be durable and reliable. It has seen many a camping trip and apart from bent poles and worn-out plastic zippers is still in good shape. If it was not for the worn zippers coming apart, I would still be using it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Copper Canyon 1312 may last as long.

I have owned Eureka tents my whole camping life, so when my 22 year old tent was more sealer than fabric I decided it was time to get a new one. However, to replace it with the same model would have cost me close to $650, so after some research I decided on the Copper Canyon 1312.
It is fairly easy to assemble, and although I could do the old tent myself, I doubt I could do this alone. Do not assemble it for the first time in the dark! It is tricky the first few times! But once you get it it's cake.
The floor is far thinner than old Eureka's, but so far (three trips in) it has done fine. We have been rained on and it held up well. I did seal the non-taped seams, as should be done with all tents.
The awning is great if it's raining to provide a dry spot just outside the tent, but if no rain is forecast then skip it -- it's just not worth the trouble!
The provided stakes are flimsy but few tents these days come with gooed ones anyway. Buy a good set for not a lot of money before you go!
I would recommend this tent!

Camped in Santa Barbara with the family last week for 3 days. Put the tent together before hand to make sure everything worked. Directions and assembly were a breeze for one person. Design was thoughtful. The tent fit 4 twin air beds and one full with room to spare. The divider was awesome. Kids used their own side and duly trashed it. Wife and I were able to keep our side tidy because of the separation and separate zipper doors.
Bad Stuff (Chinese crap factor (not sure if it was made in china but ... you get the idea): Zipper on one of windows was broken off by kids wrestling on the first day (ok fine, they are crazy no biggie). Biggest problem was after camping during take down, a critical tent pole flexi-cord crappy thing or whatever you call the springy cord thingy fell apart - just uncoiled and split rendering new tent useless. Thankfully the camping trip was done. So far, returning it to amazon has been no problem. UPS showed up next day and carted the disaster off.
